NUM_EVDROPS_INTRCNTX

Edit online

If any interrupt-context event occurrence is dropped because of a high frequency of event-occurrences, the output from a read() call on the event file, representing that event, contains the NUM_EVDROPS_INTRCNTX keyword just after the line that contains the BEGIN_EVENT_INFO keyword.

The following example represents an output from a read() call:
BEGIN_EVENT_INFO
BEGIN_EVENT_INFO
NUM_EVDROPS_INTRCNTX=5508
TIME0_tvsec=1353437661
TIME0_tvnsec=75494625
TIME_tvsec=1353437661
TIME_tvnsec=741365037
SEQUENCE_NUM=6663
RC_FROM_EVPROD=0
BEGIN_EVPROD_INFO
...msg from event-producer...
END_EVPROD_INFO
END_EVENT_INFO
This example output contains the following sets of information:
  • The NUM_EVDROPS_INTRCNTX=5508 value is the number of dropped interrupt-context event-occurrences since the time that is specified by the TIME0_tvsec and TIME0_tvnsec fields.
  • The remaining information (that is, SEQUENCE_NUM=6663, RC_FROM_EVPROD=0, ...msg from event-producer..., and so on) is about the event that occurred at the time that is specified by the TIME_tvsec and TIME_tvnsec fields.
